Content
The first-year supervised project on the Bachelor’s degree programme enables students to develop writing skills and the ability to structure their thoughts; it requires them to read and analyse a range of documents.
Teaching methods
These sessions are delivered face-to-face. Two group sessions will be devoted to developing the skills needed to organise one’s thoughts and draft a legal analysis.
Evaluation methods
The sessions are assessed:
- primarily, in the form of an individual written assignment based on a folder of documentation provided by the teaching assistant;
- secondarily, in the form of an oral presentation. This oral presentation provides students with an opportunity to engage with the use of artificial intelligence and to critically assess the results produced by it.
